Does FOTUS even know what he’s signing or is he just signing random sheets of paper being fed to him by his nazi advisors? Or maybe Orban himself?

More than likely. He doesnt read!

Only thing he can read is his bank account

Not even that, he uses the cover that his attorney and accountant does all that.

Nah, he has his accountants do that. They're probably robbing from it if he hired them.

Probably the only way they'll ever get paid.

Trump enjoys the smell and sound of the Sharpie on sheets of paper. It has the looks of making him seem bigly important! 😆 🤣

Maybe he's getting high off the fumes and that's why he's so f!#^&d in the head lol

It would be more fitting if he were using one of those oversized crayons!!!

Exactly what I said on another comment site.

I have read he can’t hold a pen, that is why he uses a sharpie

Like he has to drink out of a glass with two hands like a toddler.

Excuse me for dissing toddlers. My 3 year old grandson had better fine motor skills than the orange blob

I believe it's the latter, unless it's particularly harmful to his "enemies" - he's on a tear for retribution, not governance.

I doubt it. These EO’s are shoved under his nose and Susie says - sign here.

I think Stephen Miller is shoving them under his nose and he just signs.

Are you forgetting the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025? They have had these ready for signature probably from the time he announced his candidacy.

He may be the author of some of them, but Susie Wiles is his Chief of Staff.

Here is a NYT article from Jan 9 about Susie Wiles - definitely someone to know about: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/09/us/politics/susie-wiles-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.rU4.sMCB.Ob5cd8ZAno_7&smid=url-share

And here is another article about Ms. Wiles from two days ago: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/opinion/susie-wiles-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.rU4.dpke.pZFuO2fZUNZa&smid=url-share

Both of these may be behind the NYT paywall.

Thanks for sharing the articles. Very interesting individual, Ms. Wiles. Sounds like a formidable woman. I think I respect her based on the articles. Hopefully she is able to keep Trump “corralled” to a modicum of truth, honesty, and compassion for America. NOT his usual modis operandi. One can hope, at least. But I’ll keep my opinions at bay for now on her.

Unless she is deaf and dumb, she would know what Trump is, I can't respect anyone that would work for him

Susie co-chaired his entire campaign. She’s an astute political operative, not just some high powered secretary.

I've said this since 2016; he has no idea what he's doing and is not pulling the strings. He is manipulated and advised to do the things he does. He doesn't care about anyone but himself, so he goes along with it no matter the consequence.

The next four years should be very profitable for attorneys.

Even more than the previous eight. Now that he will have all those $$,$$$,$$$,$$$ in cryptocurrency, the non-government lawyers should be asking to be paid up front (if not already). Lawyer price inflation. In real money. Not crypto.

I agree! They probably just give him the headlines & say "sign here".

CK, first he signs a blank sheet of paper and then the nazi advisors write the order. That's the logical and efficient way to run a government 🙄

I remember his first term. He doesn't read so they had to cut things way down with major points clearly marked. And this is our president...Mr. First Felon of the United States. It just warms my heart. Sigh.

I have not seen him read. It seems like someone tells him what it says and he signs it.

Teresa G's avatar

My guess is he doesn’t read what he is handed to sign

Received a brief synopsis, which is probably filled with lies and misinformation so that he will sign it.

With a sharpie, because I understand that he cannot hold a regular pen to write with

He is worse than a three year old toddler
